Frankenstein #18

Against a full moon rising over gnarled trees, Frankenstein's Monster erupts in desperate fury — hurling a feral, fur-covered attacker while a mob of eerily youthful figures swarms around him, one brandishing a club and another clutching a torch. The cover tagline promises a singular showdown in the Alps: the Monster standing alone against the "Children of the Damned," and his speech bubble — "Leave me alone… or I will kill you all!" — captures the tragic defiance at the heart of this Marvel horror series. Val Mayerik's pencils, brought to vivid life by Bernie Wrightson's inks, make this September 1975 issue a genuinely striking entry in one of Marvel's most atmospheric monster titles.
